Gathering with Friends


It is always special when we get together with our friends. This week we've been fortunate to have a delicious dinner at the Singleton's. Steve and Becky are long-time friends that feel like family. In the 33 years that I've known them, they've seen my life go through an unbelievable number of changes and stuck with me. I'm blessed to have true friends who love me unconditionally. Even though they've not always lived close to us, every time we're together it's like we've never been apart. I'm so glad they're in Conway now. Their support during the last year and a half has been invaluable. (They were only two of MANY friends who've literally "loved us" through the pain.)
Tonight we got to visit with the Pfeiffers. Brett, Angela, Abigail, and Jessica, had come back to AR for Christmas. We also were able to see Brandon, Pam and KaraLynn, with Neil and Caralee. After a short visit at our house we all went to the Purple Cow for supper. Whenever we're together through the past 26 years, we laugh and reminisce about the adventures our families have shared. The Pfeiffers were Trav's second family. He never tired of going to their home and "taking advantage" of the attention that was lavished upon him by the twins. They're truly our family in spirit. God has been good to us. Not only these two families but so many others have given us the gift of love that God has provided. We have so many angels surrounding us, we will forever be grateful. If you're reading this, you know you are one of our angels. God bless you all.
With all of our love,
Randy & Karen
